Hana is seeking mental peace and physical respite after an overwhelming period spent working at a clinic in Ramtha, on the Jordanian-Syrian border, where she specialised in treating victims wounded in the war in Syria. She finds solace in majestic Luxor, Egypt, where she lived in her 20s and dated a handsome archeologist, Sultan, who was also studying there. On this nostalgic solo trip, she lingers through memory-filled hotel lobbies and ancient sites as she begins to grapple with her grief and her emotions from the war - but when she runs into Sultan on a ferry crossing unexpectedly, the chemistry is undeniable.

Luxor captivates at first glance with its theme: the relationship of two people who meet after many years and who are connected by a romantic episode from the past is nothing new under the sun in terms of scriptwriting, but in this case it’s highlighted by the mystical setting of Luxor in Egypt and the many metaphorical allusions to the relationship between Hana and the Sultan. But I still think it lacked some stronger messages that would have made me reflect more on the story I saw and left a deeper mark on me.
